The Knicks outrebounded, outhustled and outworked the Pacers in a 121-91 blowout. New York moved within a win of reaching the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2000.
So the last playoff team with a perfect home record has to dig deep and make the most of the energy it receives from its own crowd as it tries to rebound from an embarrassing loss at New York with a season-saving win Friday night in Game 6.
Indiana stopped a franchise-record, 10-game playoff losing streak with a Game 2 victory at Milwaukee in the first round, and then eliminated the Bucks 4-2 for their first series win in a decade. After losing the first two games at New York, the Pacers posted two home wins to even the series. "We've got to play harder, we've got play with a greater level of execution," said Indiana coach Rick Carlisle, who helped lead the Dallas Mavericks to an NBA championship in 2011. "If you can't come up with a ball and have level of possessions for the game, you're not going to in the second round of the playoffs. We've got to do better, much better.
